Chapter Seven:The Bond of the Cherryblood.
"S-so Rae I got a question for you." Says Beastboy.
'Sigh' "What is it Beastboy?" asks Raven taking her hood down to look out the window.
"Well remember when me and Cy went into your mind?" Beastboy asks.
"Yes I do." Raven says with an evil glare in her eyes.
"While we were there I heard one of your emotions laugh and I just wanted to say you have a very cute laugh." Beastboy said while blushing
"Beastboy if you're making another joke I swear you will leave this car as a woman." Said Raven.
"No Rae I mean it I just wanted to know since now that Trigon is gone and you have more control, if you could laugh a little more." Said a smiling Bb.
"W..why do you want me to laugh so much?" Said a beet red Raven staring at Bb wide-eyed.
"I don't really know I guess I just thought it sounded nice, don't worry about it." Beastboy says scratching his head.
"M..maybe I will." Says Raven as she puts up her hood and stares back out the window.
"C..cool." Says Beastboy 'Sweet yes it's a start'. Thought Bb.
'Ah young love, Right Mina.' Thinks Lexi.
'Oh shush ya' demonic match matchmaker.' Thought Mina
'Ahahahah.' The two thought in unison.
30 Minutes Later
"So guys were here." Said Robin as he and the titans stood in front of a dark black brick theater the posters for 'Sakura Storm: The Tale Of The Cherryblood Blade' were pasted all over the front of it a long line out front.
"Well I guess it's a good thing you called ahead Robin." Said Raven as the group flashed their tickets and walked in.
As they all sat down Bb first, and then Raven, then Lexi, Followed by Star, Robin, then Cy. As the group looks around to see the high ceiling and the many giant candles hanging they turn to the stage as the curtains open revealing a young Asian woman white makeup and a red and pink outline over her eyes and a dark pink kimono around her they sit back as she began singing.
"Gurētosupirittsuwatashi wa na ta wo miru watashi no hanashi wa ta no hito wo manabu koto wo kou."( "Great spirits i beg thee show my story so others may learn.") Sung the woman on the stage as she danced around the scene of a meadow of flowers. *AN: Forgive the translation I don't speak Japanese so bear with me*
45 minutes later
Beastboy, Cyborg, Robin, Starfire, Lexi, and Raven were in tears as the woman on stage stood over the body of her father screaming over his death.
"Oh god this is worse than the ending of 'Laser Hunters 6'." Said a wet-eyed Bb.
"And worse than that time we tried to woophie cushion Raven." Said a crying Cyborg.
"See told you both so." Said Mina and Lexi in unison.
"Shush friends, now is not the time for talking." Said Starfire as she brushed her eyes with Robin's Handkerchief.
Raven just sat there eyes glued on the stage as she shed tears.
"Rae, here I think you need this." Bb said as he handed her his handkerchief.
"Huh?" Raven said as she looked over to him. "O..oh thank you Gar..I mean Beastboy." Said as she grabbed the handkerchief from him and wiped her eyes.
'Wow she almost said my name I guess im getting somewhere.' Bb thought as he turned back to the play.
50 minutes after the teams teary interlude
As the play came to an end the actress wielding a blade made from pure cherry blossoms while she facing her brother, being taken away by the king's guards and saying. "Amigami wa shin'ainaru kyōdai to tomoni aran koto o."("May the gods be with you dear brother.")
As the group leaves the theater, they all look at each other's faces and break out laughing till they can't breathe.
"So im guessing you all liked the play then." Said Lexi as he patted Cy and Bb on the back.
"Dude that one part where she took on her brother's henchmen out was awesome!" exclaimed Bb.
"And the part where she helped the old innkeeper to spy on the girls in the bath so she could get the map to the sakura tree was great!" Yelled Cyborg.
"Yes the Play was most enjoyable friend Lexi I thank you for helping me to get our friends here." Said a very happy Star who was holding on to Robin's arm.
"Yea it was nice to get out for a night." Said Robin.
"Im just happy she came out on top in the end." Said Raven as she used bb's hankie to wipe away a few stray tears.
They all jumped in the T-car and Robin on his bike and made haste home to talk about the play and get out of their formal wear and hang around the tower and enjoy the rest of the night.
"Whew I feel better now." Said the group as they all sat in the common room in their sleeping gear mainly sweats, shorts, and night shirts.
"So what do you guys do around here for fun?" Lexi asks as he leans back in his chair at the bar in the kitchen.
"Well Lexi I do have some more questions for you and Mina." Said Robin as checks his mask again.
"Sure in fact any and all question are cool with me right Mina." "Yea its cool." Said the duo.
"Well what's your Real name cause I doubt it's Lexi?" Asks Robin.
"Well your right my full name is Darius 'Lexi' Leat." Said Lexi.
"Cool." Robin says as he jots it down on the notepad he had before.
"Uuh Robin where you'd get that notepad from?" Asks Lexi.
"Nowhere." Robin says as he keeps writing.
"Well anyone else wanna fire one off before I head up to bed?" says Lexi as he yawns.
"Yea I have a few." Said Raven from her spot meditating in the corner. "Your powers are very strong so what is the block that stops you from being stronger."
"Well Raven im not sure I mean I train as best I can but it's like my powers don't want me to get to that level yet, but im hoping that you guys can help." Said Lexi as he stood and started for the door. "But that's all for tonight I need sleep, see you all in the morning."
"Night Lexi." Called Bb and Cy.
"Night friend Lexi." Called Star.
"Yea see you in the morning." Said Robin.
"Get rest we have work to do tomorrow." Said Raven as she started her meditating again.
